Rosický undergoes second operation

The Czech football captain Tomáš Rosický, who has not played since January due to a ligament injury, has undergone surgery for the second time. The operation took place in Germany on Monday. A statement on the website of his club Arsenal said it was a routine operation that had gone according to plan. After Rosický underwent surgery for the first time in May, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said he expected to see him back in action in September. There has been media speculation about whether the midfielder, who is 28, will ever play top level soccer again.
